Nurse Leader
Creating an Environment for Innovation: The Risk-Taking Leadership Competency
February 2013 (Vol. 11 | No. 1 | Pages 24-27)
Jeannette T. Crenshaw, Patricia S. Yoder-Wise
ABSTRACT: The number of leaders with the skill of supporting evidence-based practice (EBP) has increased over the past decade. Yet the number of leaders with the skill for taking risks has not experienced a similar growth. Without the competence for taking considered risks, nursing, and thus healthcare, will not reach its full potential to improve what people need when seeking quality healthcare. Both nurse leaders and followers need to function in an environment that welcomes considered risk. To this end, two complementary models illustrate a structured way to think about the value of innovation, which requires risk taking, and the leadership needed to facilitate innovation in healthcare.
